When I was about a year into blogging I started a regular feature called a Wednesday Wander, where I’d write a post about somewhere I’d been (I’ve travelled a bit), share photos, a bit of local knowledge and my own insight into the place. I had to stop doing them, eventually – not due toContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Trip To Dragonstone, Part 1”

A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Season 8 of Game Of Thrones, so if youโre not all caught up, read further at your own peril. Again, spoilers spoilers spoilers) A couple of years ago, I shared two posts about visiting Dragonstone, the Targaryen island fortress from Game of Thrones. Of course, I didnโt really visitContinue reading “A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones”
A Monday Meander – Dragonstone Part 2
As promised, this is the second part of my Game of Thrones location visit, this time to the spectacular San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, on the coast of Spain. San Juan de Gatzelugatxe is actually the name of the small hermitage located on the islet, a sanctuary dedicated to Saint John and dating back to theContinue reading “A Monday Meander – Dragonstone Part 2”
Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1
I’ve recently been away, doing a spot of wandering in Basque country. I am a big Game of Thrones fan and so, when I found out that two of the locations used for the show were not too far from where I was staying, I decided to take a look (and dragged the family alongContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1”

It’s nice to be home, as itContinue reading “Unpacking”
Reading, Writing, and Silver Fish Jumping
It’s been a little while since I’ve written an update kind of post, and so it seemed like today would be a good day. A Thousand Rooms is currently available to read and review via NetGalley, and was recently in their Summer Reads newsletter. So far, so good. I’ve also been asked, via a NetGalleyContinue reading “Reading, Writing, and Silver Fish Jumping”
Caffeine Withdrawal and Game Of Thrones
*Note: This post contains Game of Thrones spoilers, so don’t read if you haven’t seen the latest episode yet ๐ I am, for some reason, a day ahead of myself. I thought today was the solstice, but the 21st is tomorrow. Although, the solstice seems to move around a bit, so it could be today.Continue reading “Caffeine Withdrawal and Game Of Thrones”
Clearing My Mind
Most days I count my blessings as I sit down at my computer, happy to be writing, to have my family, to be living here. And then there are days when really, all I want to do is sit on the couch and binge watch Avengers movies or Game of Thrones, or the Tudors. OrContinue reading “Clearing My Mind”
